I am really excited to participate in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.
I simply can’t seem to get anything done lately! This week was back to reality and back to work. It probably comes as no surprise that I really like vacation weeks much better 🙂 By the time I would get home from work, feed the family, and walk the dogs, it would be time to go to bed. I keep thinking things should calm down soon but it is just not happening.

My daughter talked me into taking her to a book fair Friday night which I have to admit wasn’t really that hard to do. I only picked up 7 books compared to her 12 so I did practice some restraint – at least in my eyes. We only spent $8.25 on the 19 books we grabbed so I think we did pretty well.
Audiobooks
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (audible purchase)
The Young World by Chris Weitz (Audiobook Sync)
The Young World by Chris Weitz (Audiobook Sync)
I have been trying to stop myself from buying so many books but I couldn’t resist The Night Circus when it was the audible daily deal this week. I also grabbed The Young World from Audiobook Sync while it was one of the week’s freebies. I am just loving this summer’s picks!
What books do you add to your shelves this week?
Let me know in the comments and be sure to leave a link to your own STS post!
You had such a great week! I LOVE The Night Circus, it's one of my favorites. And I read The Weight of Silence, by Heather Gudenkauf, last year and really enjoyed it–I should really pick up more of her work!
Here's hoping you enjoy your recent acquisitions! Also, here's my Stacking the Shelves this week, if you're interested in checking it out–no worries if you're not, though! Happy book-ing to you!
As always, great haul. I read Olive Kitteridge for a class a long time ago and loved it. The Night Circus and The Wolf Road are on my TBR.
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I really liked the audio for Night Circus – just the beginning was a bit confusing. I hope you enjoy all your other new goodies!!
I want to go to that book fair! It sounds fantastic and you got so many great books. I want to try Anne Aguirre and Night Circus is on my TBR too. Hopefully things will calm down soon!
I had a bit of a guff week as well…I hate it coz it just brings you down. Hope things are better for you soon and you can get some productive stuff done.
You got some great books. I hope you enjoy Jonathan Unleashed. I hope to read The Wolf Road next month. Enjoy all your books!
So many great books here! I loved The Night Circus, which I recently read this year. It was SO captivating! I love the cover of the Bittner book – it looks interesting! I love the purple. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
Have a wonderful weekend, Carole. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Great haul! I got The Wolf Road this week as well, so I can't wait to read it. I go back to work tomorrow, so I know I'll get more behind on blogging. I'm trying to start working from home, so I'm crossing my fingers to get approved. We have a staff meeting next month, and they'll announce it then. Wish me luck!
oh yes for Outlaw Hearts!!!! Such a good book, and you will love it.
Whoa, you did well at the book fair! I requested Sting, I hope I get approved for it. I like Brown's books. Reality can be such a nuisance, can't it? Have a good week!
Sting!!! OMG. I need to go over there and request a copy! Gah.
Vacation weeks are definitely the best. Ooooh, Night Circus! One of my favorites. Hope you enjoy the audio.
